At first glance, the letter to the Hebrews can seem difficult to comprehend, requiring readers to be familiar with an intricate system of Hebrew sacrifices so intimidating that some might just set the whole epistle aside. But William Barclay believed "that no New Testament book gives us such a glorious picture of Jesus Christ in all the splendor of his manhood and in all the majesty of his deity." So, amplified by his keen and vibrant commentary, this ancient letter emerges from apparent obscurity to be a vital resource of encouragement for Christians today.

Author Bio

William Barclay (1907-1978) is known and loved by millions worldwide as one of the greatest Christian teachers of modern times. His insights into the New Testament, combined with his vibrant writing style, have delighted and enlightened readers of all ages for over half a century. He served for most of his life as Professor of Divinity at the University of Glasgow, and wrote more than fifty books--most of which are still in print today. His most popular work, the Daily Study Bible, has been translated into over a dozen languages and has sold more than ten million copies around the world.

William Barcalay's commentaries are insightful and engaging, but Caveat Emptor! Please be aware the Barclay is not a Christian, he is a Unitarian who denies the Deity of Christ "Nowhere does the New Testament identify Jesus as God" (A Spiritual Biography, 1977 Edition, p. 56}. He also denies the Virgin Birth, substitutionary atonement, etc. I strongly suggest you read this with a grain of salt!
